Seif-Sarrifce tx Fiction and Fact

The girls in one Of the junior classes
Of the Normal College were requested
a few weeks ago to name the female
character in any novel or drama they
bad read which left the strongest i'm
preston on their minds. Two Of the
responses ought to be carefully CON
sidered by all, who are opposed to what
are sometimes termed light and
frivolous reading" One girl. appar-
atty Is years old, said; II prefer the
character of Romola to any other that
! have read" When asked to give
her reasons she replied: Because she
was 81 good, so noble, SO self-sacri-
dcing." The other girl. perhaps q
year younger, said she liked the char
.acter of ''Rebecca in 'Iyanhoe,' be-
aus she was SO pure, so liberal, and
90 self-sacrifcing.7 Both used ths
word self-saerificing; and, as self
sacrificing is the popular heroism Of
noble women, it il easy to perceive
that these girls had in their own hearts
a good deal of that very feeling which
they 10 admired in others.-NeH Yerk

In the pressure of other matters we
have failed to notice some memorials
of "ye olden time" of more than or
binary interest, which were recently
shown us by Mr. Horace Leflingwell,
of this place, and which originally be-
longed to his grandfather, Samuel
Bryan, an old sea-cnptain. The chief
of these was n sheet containing fac
SMILES of the autographs Of the mem
bers of the first Continental Congress,
which convened ut Philadelphia in
September, 1874. Mr.. Letlingwell
had Just had this sheet framed. 1t
belonged originally to a book of some
sort which has been lost, but there
was sufficient introduction left to
show that the signatures were to
some sort of articles of association.
The date was October 20, 1774, and
be reference to Bancroft's History of
the United States, we find the nature
of this association. It was a pledge
ON the part of the Congress to give
their support to the people of M1ssa-
chusctts as against the oppressive
measures which were then being
waged on that State by the British
Government Among other things
it was resolved to abolish the slave
trade from and after December 10th
following. Among the signatures
were those Of number who signcl
the Declaration Of Indcpcndcnce.and
their compecrS. such rs Washington.
